Overview

Philosophy of care | I believe in taking care of you with a unique plan for your lifestyle. Especially in the field of rheumatology, no two patients are alike. My goal is to get you back to doing what you love to do. | Why I entered medicine | I have seen the impact of uncontrolled rheumatic diseases on a patient's quality of life. In the last few decades especially, there have been many new therapies that can significantly lessen pain and improve function. For that reason I feel lucky to be in medicine now. | Personal interests | I enjoy spending free time with family and friends.
